17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print from 1919 captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing soldiers with amputated legs during their recovery. The portrait depicts three mid-adult men standing together, each bravely facing the camera with a front view. Despite their injuries and the absence of limbs, these courageous individuals exude strength and resilience. The image perfectly balances the message of loss and hope as it highlights the soldiers' physical disabilities while also emphasizing their determination to overcome adversity. Standing tall in their military uniforms, they lean on crutches for support, symbolizing both their reliance on assistive devices and their unwavering spirit. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of human triumph over tragedy. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and honors those who have served our country. Through this vertical composition set against an outdoor backdrop, we witness these wounded warriors embracing life after war. Their prosthetic limbs serve as symbols of progress in healthcare and medicine at that time. This print is more than just an image; it tells a story of resilience, courage, and perseverance that continues to inspire generations today.
